I think the Flames have a strong chance of selling Bennett, Rittich and Ryan.
I predict the Flames will sell Bennett to the Penguins for a 2022 draft pick.
I also think the Flames need to entertain offers on everyone at the deadline. The Flames should sell Monahan and/or Gaudreau if they get a great offer (otherwise, wait until the offseason). The Flames should sell Giordano if they get a fair offer (rapidly depreciating asset).

I think if you can sell to a contender that Gio still has it in him to be a solid middle pairing contributor, then go for it. A team like the Habs could offer us Byron + 2nd + Armia, or something along those lines. Armia would be a middle 6 RW upgrade that can PK. Byron would be a decent bottom 6 addition. Gets paid more than he should, but so does Gio.
EDIT: Should probably clarify that Montreal is NOT a contender, but they’re loading up to try and go on a surprise run. I think Gio would help more than hurt their chances.
